The road linking Ouarzazate and Marrakech witnessed traffic disruption on Sunday evening at the Touregdal area, following rockfalls caused by rainfall and torrents in the region.
According to available data, falling rocks and soil have obstructed traffic on this road section, coinciding with ongoing rain and torrents. This situation necessitated caution from road users.
Mountainous areas on the road linking Ouarzazate and Marrakech are known to face risks of falling rocks and rockfalls during rainfall periods, especially on sections adjacent to slopes.
This situation calls for road users to exercise utmost caution, avoid speeding, and respect the instructions of authorities and relevant services, especially given the continued volatile weather and the possibility of renewed rainfall and torrents.
Such incidents serve as an opportunity to reiterate the call for intensified monitoring and field interventions on mountain sections to ensure the safety of road users and the continuity of traffic in safe conditions.
